Related: About this forumHas anyone contacted the FBI over Trump ???
I actually submitted a tip to their cybercrime division just now . We've just witnessed someone openly seek out a foreign government to commit an act of treason !!! If I did anything like this in my current, I'd be thrown in jail within the hour !

(51,974 posts)he can always walk it back, pass it off as a joke or politicking.
it is (or should be) tremendously damaging to him politically, but not legally.
of course, if they investigated and found some further private communications, and a promise of a more material reward than the hope of favorable press, *that* would be actionable.
also, the constitution requires actual arms to be involved for it to be treason. though i'm sure there are other federal laws that would apply.

There may be financial crimes as well.
